Owen Labrie’s victim and her family are filing suit against St. Paul’s school in Concord, New Hampshire.

This comes after a jury convicted Labrie of sexually assaulting the 15-year-old student in 2014.

Labrie who was a senior at the school at the time of the assault, was sentenced to a year in prison.

The victim’s family is now suing the school, claiming St. Paul’s “fostered, permitted, and condoned” a long-standing sexual conquest tradition known as “senior salute,” where high school senior boys try to sleep with underclassman girls.

According to the lawsuit, the family claims the school failed to protect its students.

St. Paul’s released a statement in response to the suit Wednesday saying,

“We believe this lawsuit is without merit, and we plan to vigorously defend ourselves. We categorically reject any allegations that St. Paul’s school has an unhealthy culture. The safety of our students has been and will continue to be the highest priority for our school.”
